Somehow this little girl is now 8 years old 💕She wanted a princess cake for her party with her friends, so we stayed up late last night (way past her bedtime lol) and she learned how to make a 2 layer cake and homemade fondant. We had so much fun and laughed a ton. I’m so lucky to be her auntie 💜

My sweet grandma passed away this week. I’ll always remember her most being in the kitchen, making sure everyone was taken care of and never hungry. She passed on her love language of food to my dad, and then me, and I’ll forever be grateful ❤️

Happy Christmas everyone⚡️

My dream came true this year, and I was able to test a funfetti cake for work! After testing and tweaking the recipe almost 10 times to perfect it (Tim and I ate so. much. funfetti cake over the last few months 🤪), I had so much fun taking some time to decorate one festively! Find out how to make this super fun Ugly Christmas Sweater Cake over on @handletheheat ❤️💚

Oldest to youngest, Family Christmas 2022🎄 We had such a fun day full of delicious food and games, and it was wonderful seeing all of my siblings and their families, but it definitely wasn’t the same as both my parents were both sick and unable to be with us. Looking forward to the next time we can all be together ❤️

Last weekend celebrating the Sleighbell Parade! 🎄 We had so much fun going to craft shows, the parade, playing games afterwards and eating a ton of amazing food that I didn’t photograph (who am I?!?)

A glimpse into our Thanksgiving this year with just the two of us, though I did stop to see my seastar in the morning 🥰 Tim and I ran a 5k before prepping our feast, then watched the season finale of Andor before ending the night with our tradition of Grumpy Old Men, mini pumpkin pie and apple galette. It was a fantastic day ❤️
